EE is lacking pedalling indications in those bar; the same applies to analogous bars 94-95. 
It may imply that Chopin added those indications already after all three edition manuscripts had been done, with exception of the manuscript dedicated to EE. The signs in A are written more delicately, which suggests that they were written in different time than the remaining indications.

We assign the ambiguous beginning of the slur in A to the 2nd quaver. It stems from the analysis of the way of writing slurs in the entire A ‒ see A's characteristic. In the editions the slur begins from the 1st quaver. In FE the notation is erroneous ‒ the beginning of the slur is placed too early, as if it continued the slur from the previous great stave.
